It was part of the initial review. The Infoworld report that the he references was testing a pre-WiMAX deployment by Clearwire.

In a moving vehicle

InfoWorld reported that Clearwire’s mobile WiMAX solution in Reno didn’t work in cars , so we got in a taxi and asked the driver to take us for a joy ride while we did some more testing on video. We were able to play World of Warcraft just fine, browse the Web, and even begin streaming Hulu videos. We did notice that while uploading video, we averaged about 1.2Mbps, which is half as fast as it was when we were stationary. Furthermore, we dropped a XOHM connection during one part of our trip. However, we were quickly able to reconnect as we continued to move, so we still hadn’t reached the edge of the coverage.

Of course, EV-DO is capable of this, too. Last Friday I took a bus ride from New York City to the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania and streamed the presidential debate live. While I ran into plenty of dead spots and had some lag, the experience was still enjoyable and worthwhile. XOHM doesn’t cover these great distances yet, so again, travelers will want to stick to EV-DO for now.
